Standing tall like a rock against everything with no tears, no sadness, no fear of anything. Just follow your own path despite all obstacles and smile when death finally comes for you.“ An excerpt and translation of the ’Nordwand’ lyrics: “Am ganzn Lemsweg triffst auf Stoana und am End’ wart d’ Erdn auf deine Boana Håb vor langer Zeit verlernt zum Woana, beim letztn Schritt, da huift da koana“ “”All your life, stones stand in your way and finally the ground awaits your bones I forgot how to shed tears a long tome ago and no one will help you before that final step“ GRÀB on... Facebook: ​ Bandcamp: ​ Youtube: Instagram: Nature. Misanthropy. Solitude. Death. - With this unmistakable focus, the Bavarian black metal band GRÀB has recorded its debut album “Zeitlang“, featuring a.o. Schwadorf (Empyrium, Sun of the Sleepless), PK (Abigor), Morean (Dark Fortress) and Paymon (ex Dark Fortress) as guest musicians. Honouring its local dialect, the band evokes the primeval force of (Nordic) black metal with a truly personal and saturnine approach. So, the music of GRÀB sounds like a grim echo from dark gorges in the mountains, where the horror of the inevitable haunts you in the final hour. The band originally consists of Grant (vocals & poetry) and Gråin (guitars & bass). Mixing and mastering was executed by Thomas Taube (White Mantis, ex Odem Arcarum) in his Five Lakes Studio. “gràb“ is a Bavarian term for “grey“ / “old“.
